I am, forever, a stargazer
A watcher of the night
The stars become my lantern
In the darkness, they’re my light

But there is one who shines
In the sky, such sheer delight
A mighty huntsman, sword in hand
Oh, what a glorious sight

Orion, among the heavens
His distinctive glow in the sky
A belt that shimmers brightly
Three kings, all seated high

Let him guide your journey
You can feel his woeful plight
But mind the tail of Scorpio
Lest you, too, feel his bite

She glides along the bridal path
Through the forest, to the altar
Where she meets, her mate to be
Knowing, she cannot falter

A she-wolf dressed in satin
She is everything he needs
As darkness grows around them
They recite the lover’s creed

“Let no human come between us
We are one with the forest hounds
We pledge ourselves, undying love
As we stand on these earthen grounds”

He shines with pride, beside her
No others dare to encroach
Upon a lobo and his chosen one
Both now beyond reproach

As sunlight fades behind them
For her, there’s no turning back
She has given him her life blood
He has given her his pack

What once held treasure long ago

Stands empty, surrounded by moss

A pot made of clay, filled with dismay

The garden, surely feeling its loss

An insignificant artifact, they claimed

Twas tossed aside, thrown away

Til it returned to its place, adding its grace

No longer a vessel, becoming passé

The chill in the air, ever so slight

A hint of winter’s calling

Barren lay the autumn trees

Their leaves no longer falling

The smell of fires burning

Lovers, warm beside the glow

Crystals form on window panes

From the touch of newest snow

Frosted evergreen needles

Red berries shimmering bright

Seasons changing once again

Ever so quickly, overnight

When all else fails, and life throws you a curve

And you finally realize, you’re on your last nerve

Just cross your fingers, and hope for the best

Forget what they need, what you need is your rest

They offer a moment, for you to relax

Only to find out, they’ll be taking it back

It’s then that you feel, your life has been foozled

They got you again, you’ve been cheated, bamboozled
